Do The French Do It Better

More snow today. No NYC yellow cabs to brighten the view. I was thinking the French own the tarte. This Pain Quotidientarte is lacking in je ne sait quoi.Just put it next to the French version of a framboise tarte.

With all that snow outside looks like you are going to be indoors for a while?!Hope you have enough food, or tarts, to keep you going?Or you can always order pizza, right?Hope your snow doesn't come my way!take care Carol!

The best tarte I ever tasted was in Paris from a SW French pastry place in the 3rd. It was a pear tart with the most delicate shell. Oh my. I have sought it ever since to no avail. A fleeting moment of perfection.

The red at least warms up the snow affect. How do you keep from gaining weight with all that lovely pastery around?? I am not sure I would get it painted before it was eaten. :)) Iam enjoying seeing your sketches.

Hello from sunny New Zealand. I was delighted to see all your "tart" posts. I just decided to lurk on your blog after I had posted photos of the tarts at our local French cafe. Great minds think alike!

Love that sweet little girl in the last image--so cute. Seeing your paintings in the works is great fun, Carol--I always love when you include these. they look wonderful. Have a great weekend--snuggle up against all that snow!!!!!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
